Another new option lets you opt out of downloading high-resolution textures to save space.
With its humble least framework prerequisites, you can play Fortnite on practically any PC made in the most recent decade, yet the experience may not be the best. Luckily, Epic Games is acquainting another Performance Mode with assistance from the individuals who are left with less skilled frameworks.
Beginning on December fifteenth (tomorrow), you’ll discover Performance Mode in Fortnite’s settings menu. In a blog entry spotted by Polygon, Epic says it permits the fight royale to “run over and above anyone’s expectations previously and keep a smoother framerate.” It does as such by bringing down some visual quality settings, accordingly helping the outstanding task at hand on your PC’s CPU and GPU. In case you’re playing Fortnite on a framework that scarcely meets the game’s base framework prerequisites, it will invite you to evaluate the component whenever you hop into the title. You can kill Performance Mode anytime a while later.
As one illustration of what the element can do, Epic cases a PC with a coordinated Intel UHD 620 GPU and a mid-range Intel i5 CPU from 2018 went from delivering the game at a normal of 24 casings for every second to a more playable 61 edges for each second when the studio empowered Performance Mode. That’s not the only consideration on its way for less powerful PCs. A new option available through the Epic Games Launcher will allow you to opt-out of downloading the game’s high-resolution textures.
On most systems, that should save you about 14GB of internal storage — that’s on top of the space you’re already saving after Epic recently streamlined the PC install of Fortnite to make it take up less space. If you don’t need the high-resolution textures, you can get Fortnite down to about 17GB with the tweak.
